Endless Possibilities

Who doesn't love the idea of a gallery wall? They're pretty much all the rage now, but I love them because it allows me to hang up all the random crap I have on the wall and call it an amazing artistic feat.

Here's my ideas for what to hang on the wall, and here's a sneak peek at what I already have:

I'm in love with this idea from Carmel over at Our Fifth House and since we are, indeed, the Move-a-Lots, I'd like to put up pictures of all of our houses as we bounce around the county.

Baby Move-a-Lot drawings! His day care teachers have all kinds of arts and crafts they send home with him. Mostly paint smudges, but, as his mother, I love them madly!

Some cute travel-focused hearts or shapes to frame. Maybe places we've been, where we were all born? Who knows! Inspired by this at netoflak

Wall decals! I got a groupon for Dali Wall Decals, and I might use it to buy a neat decal to play with on my wall. Maybe a bird escaping from a cage?

Here's what I've collected so far:

We love photo booths! Starting with our early dating trip to Rome, but this one is Atlantic City, my post-bar trip. Trying to show off my belly in the top shot, but it pretty much just looks weird.

Hard to see - better photo in the full post, but this is the library where I worked growing up. Photo by my friend and photographer, Richard Marheine

A "B" which is our initial. Terribly creative, I know

is the "neutral" phase of the gallery wall, and we'll see how it looks before I change to brighter. That's just a few things I've collected to put up. Hope to show you a full post soon!
